Scale and Campus Structure

Starry Sky University is described as the largest and best martial arts university in the Outer Stars. Its total area is said to equal roughly ten thousand Blue Star Universities. Outside Star Boats and airships are prohibited from entering the grounds. 178 412

• Four primary campus tiers — Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow campuses organize students by standing and origin. 490
• Tianli Campus — Reserved for geniuses from the Ten-Star Alliance. 490
• Earth-grade campuses — Serve relatively outstanding geniuses from planets outside the Ten-Star Alliance. 490
• Central Campus — Located at the center of the four campus tiers; houses major facilities including the Void Heaven Pagoda and a large Martial Dao Sales Hall. 492 498 500
• Tianyi Campus — Used for martial-arts selection testing; its South Campus is a cultivation area for Canglong Star’s powerful families, local elites, and exceptional Ten-Star Alliance Blood-Qi Stage geniuses. 412 413

Students are grouped by cultivation realm rather than simply by time enrolled. First-years are Blood-Qi Stage Martial Artists; second-years span the first through fourth True Qi realms; third-years span the fifth through seventh realms; and fourth-years are eighth-rank Innate Embryonic Breath Martial Artists. 549

Major Departments

Department	Entry Standards and Characteristics
Martial Way Department	Requires exceptional Martial Way foundations. Standard entry requires at least ninefold Strength Value during the Blood-Qi Stage, an Earth Aperture breakthrough upon reaching the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, and multi-attribute True Qi in the True Qi Stage. Students who later excel may apply to join. 412
Sword Dao Department	The most difficult department to enter; requires sword talent, sword comprehension, and affinity with swords. Fewer than one in ten thousand students may qualify. 412
Mental Power Department	Requires top-tier Mental Power aptitude, a sufficiently high Consciousness Sea value, and the ability to forge a pseudo-Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit. Divine Sense Master status alone is insufficient. 412

Students admitted through the Martial Way Department’s special genius selection can enter directly as focused-cultivation students rather than ordinary enrollees. 412

Ordinary students lack dedicated instructors and must rely on public lectures or teaching assistants, whereas students in the three major departments receive dedicated martial-arts instruction. 545

Dual-Department Students

Students may study both the Martial Way and Mental Power Departments if they meet strict Consciousness Sea World, Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ranking, and minimum Third-Order Mental Power requirements. 561

Notable dual-department student Wenren Mubian is listed as a seventh-rank Martial Artist and seventh-rank Divine Sense Master with the eleventh-ranked Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, the Devouring Heaven Taotie. 413

Admissions and Elimination

Blue Star Quotas

Starry Sky University grants developing martial-civilization planets protected admission quotas so they are not forced to compete immediately against mature interstellar civilizations. Blue Star initially receives 3,000 slots annually. 136

Blue Star Allocation	Circumstance	Notes
3,000 annual slots	Standard protected allocation	Intended to support Blue Star, whose martial civilization entered the interstellar era only a little over a century earlier. 136
4,500 annual slots	After Blue Star won the Eastern Star Region Permanent Councilor Star contest	A permanent council planet’s quota should double to 6,000, but Starry Sky University granted Blue Star 4,500 before the Saint Envoy Hall formally announced its status. 476
180 first-batch slots	Galactic Calendar 7365 intake	Blue Star’s first-batch allocation increased from 150 to 180 following its Fourteen-Star Alliance status. 482

Blue Star’s quota does not guarantee graduation. New students face assessments every six months, and failure of a single assessment can result in being sent back; historically, only around 500 of Blue Star’s 3,000 annual entrants remained. 254

New Student Screening

New students must earn a year’s tuition—12,000 Credits—within three months by hunting Wild Beasts in the Wasteland. Failure constitutes failure of the first screening round. 492

• Tuition is set at 1,000 Credits per month, with one Credit exchangeable for one Star-Origin Galactic Coin. 492
• Beast-core value is adjusted according to a student’s strength level, allowing weaker students to earn more from defeating stronger opponents. 492
• Students who fail advancement requirements may undergo repeated, progressively harder elimination tasks until they advance or are expelled. 549
• Most students who meet the required standard graduate after reaching the seventh-stage Gang Qi Realm in their third year. Fourth-year places are reserved for the small number of students selected for continued focused cultivation. 549

Selection Programs

A Martial Way Department selection for remote regions brought nearly a thousand Blood-Qi Stage geniuses from multiple planets to Tianyi Campus. Passing its tests granted only a chance of selection, not guaranteed admission. 412

The final selection stage evaluates martial bone quality, special physiques, and True Qi affinity. The top twenty candidates may meet Martial Way Department head Yan Zhiyun; those chosen become core students under the department’s key training program. 428

• Core students — Fewer than one in 100,000 Starry Sky University students; they receive advantages beyond ordinary Martial Way Department students and may later become formal disciples of the department head. 428
• Unselected finalists — Planets represented by candidates who reach the third assessment round receive ten additional admission slots. 428
• Renowned teacher recruitment — The university periodically sends influential teachers to identify and accept exceptional students from the Canglan Star Domain’s remote regions. 407 408

Leadership

• Yan Zhiyun — Vice president of Starry Sky University and head of the Martial Way Department. She is Canglong Star’s youngest Tenth-Order Heaven-Human Grandmaster in a century and has advanced beyond that realm. 428
• Mo Bingfei — Chief instructor of First Campus; a tenth-rank Heaven-Human Grandmaster Martial Artist. 497
• Wenren Qingyue — Granddaughter of the university president and a prominent Canglong Star descendant. 401
• Chu Jinxiu — Martial Way Department instructor and aunt of student Chu Ling'er. 430

Facilities and Resources

Void Heaven Pagoda

The Void Heaven Pagoda is located in Central Campus and is the only one in the Canglan Star Domain. It is said to have been seized from Otherworldly Demons by a Star Seeker two centuries earlier. 469 492

• Assists Blood-Qi Stage geniuses in breaking through their limits and opening Divine Apertures. 469
• Opens for only twelve hours each day. 498
• Access slots are limited and generally usable only once. 492 498

Sumeru Illusion Realm

Starry Sky University operates a Sumeru Illusion Realm for Illusion Beast hunting, Crystal Core collection, and practical cultivation. The Blue Star version was likely modeled after the university’s system, with an approximately 80% similar palace layout. 549

• Students use miniature airships and Crystal Core Pouches to hunt Illusion Beasts in the Sumeru Sea. 550 551
• Crystal Cores can be exchanged through the university’s Credit and Galactic Coin economy. 549
• Stronger students may deter weaker Illusion Beasts from approaching, limiting their potential harvest in certain regions. 549

Star Camphor Steles

The university’s Star Camphor Steles form a cumulative Mental Power examination. Cracking eleven steles can earn a student focused nurturing from Starry Sky University. 419 420

Ancient Star Ruins

Starry Sky University issues Ancient Star Exploration Vouchers and administers access to more than a dozen Ancient Star Ruins with realm-based restrictions. 350 504

• Divine Source Ancient Star No. 7 — A recently opened ruin containing 130 Divine Source Ore Veins. 504 505
• No. 13 Divine Source Mining Zone — Controlled by Starry Sky University and regularly contested by forces from other star domains. 505

Martial Dao Sales Hall

The Central Campus Martial Dao Sales Hall contains dedicated areas for True Qi resources, Blood-Qi resources, Mental Power resources, cultivation techniques, martial skills, and divine weapon materials. 500

Administration and Student Services

Upon registration, students undergo identity verification through university systems linked to Canglong Star. Identity checks are necessary because impostors sometimes murder accepted students and attempt to enroll under their identities. 490

• Star Card — A university-issued card combining a Canglong Star bank card and Credit Card, connected to the Canglan Star Domain Interstellar Chain Bank. 490
• Planetary on-campus work groups — Permanent organizations that receive freshmen from their home planets, verify identities, and handle planet-specific student affairs. Nearly every planet outside the Ten-Star Alliance maintains one. 490
• Student identification — A Starry Sky University student ID functions as the equivalent of partial Canglong Star citizenship identification, granting recognition beyond campus. 450
